摘要

在这篇文章中，对诽谤的意义进行了多行为观点的辩护。根据这一观点，当说话者说出含有污语的句子时，她同时进行了两种不同的言语行为，按照Searle的分类（Searle, 1975），其中一种言语行为是表达性的。虽然这种观点是表现主义的一个特殊版本，但它比其他版本的表现主义理论有很多优点。首先，它通过将slurs与我们表达各种态度（而不仅仅是轻蔑）的其他句子联系起来，使slurs的表达成分得到更清晰的定义。其次，它可以利用非代表性言语行为不能简化为代表性言语行为这一事实来解释描述性不可言说。第三，它可以回应最近针对表现主义的一些强有力的批评。

Slurs and speech acts

In this essay, a multi-act view of the meaning of slurs is defended. According to such view, when a speaker utters a sentence containing a slur, she simultaneously performs two different speech acts, one of which, following Searle's taxonomy (Searle, 1975), is an expressive one. Although this view is a particular version of expressivism, it has many advantages over other versions of this theory. First, it allows a clearer definition of the expressive component of slurs by relating slurs with other sentences in which we express various attitudes, not only contempt. Second, it can explain descriptive ineffability drawing on the fact that non-representative speech acts cannot be reduced to representative ones. Third, it can respond to some powerful criticisms recently directed against expressivism.

期刊介绍： This journal is unique in that it provides a forum devoted to the interdisciplinary study of language and communication. The investigation of language and its communicational functions is treated as a concern shared in common by those working in applied linguistics, child development, cultural studies, discourse analysis, intellectual history, legal studies, language evolution, linguistic anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, the politics of language, pragmatics, psychology, rhetoric, semiotics, and sociolinguistics. The journal invites contributions which explore the implications of current research for establishing common theoretical frameworks within which findings from different areas of study may be accommodated and interrelated. By focusing attention on the many ways in which language is integrated with other forms of communicational activity and interactional behaviour, it is intended to encourage approaches to the study of language and communication which are not restricted by existing disciplinary boundaries.
